We have watched Sarah Jessica Parker gallivant around New York City for 16 years, and we won't lie, she is pretty entertaining. But the Sex and the City character that has really inspired us comes in the form of the blonde, spunky, Public Relations specialist, Samantha Jones. Sure she straddles the line between daytime appropriate and late night profanity, but her presence in the classic bff group is imperative. As the oldest (and most fabulous) character in the series, Samantha uses her subversive, humorous quotes to teach us a little about life.

Samantha is the ideal tour guide.

Samantha is a seasoned political scientist.

"I don't believe in the Republican party or the Democratic party, I just believe in parties."

She is not afraid of a little experimentation.

And don’t forget about her expertise in relationships… 

"Relationships have been on a decline since women came out of the cave, looked around, and said, 'This isn't so hard.'"                     

"Men aren’t that complicated. They’re kind of like plants"

And the grace she exudes when addressing break-ups...

Samantha understands how to love herself.   

And knows the best ways to keep her memory sharp.

Not to mention she understands that girlfriends are gold.

And at the end of the day, Samantha Jones is the strong, female role model every woman needs.

We love you Samantha, thank you for your lady wisdom.
